The “S” word, sincerely used, has almost magical properties. There are no prizes for never being the first to say you’re sorry. It doesn’t make you look strong. Failure to make sincere apologies will damage your relationship. 3 Listen. Instead of trying to justify your behaviour, make the effort to listen in respectful silence. Hear your partner out without butting in with excuses, counter accusations.

You have to lavish time and care on your relationship - and each other - if you want it to thrive. 7 .Make time to tell your partner how special he or she is. Be as specific as you can be about what makes him or her special and why it means so much to you. Not only will you both become more aware of your partner’s specialness, but in time he/she will probably say the same kind of things back to you. 8. Tell your partner how much you love him or her. Do that at least on a daily basis. You can use notes, cards, quotes etc. to reinforce the idea. Never assume that he/she doesn’t need to be told, or doesn’t like to hear, all the things that you love about him/her. 9. Hug your partner daily. Virginia Satir said: “We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.” Why not go for growth? 10. Share. Share laughter and joy daily. Make a conscious decision to share your wins and rejoice in theirs. What you focus on increases, so focus on what is great about the relationship and great about your life together and it will keep on getting better.
